– A Merriwether
man returned to
his Timothy
Crossing home to
find his gray
and red Honda
push mower
missing from his
garage and
called to report
the theft.
Fortunately, his
neighbor was
observant and
was able to
provide deputies
with not only a
description of
the suspect, but
the tag number
and make and
model of the car
he was
driving.

The homeowner
was able to
provide details
on the
description of
the mower,
including the
rubber handle on
the right side
of the mower
handle was
missing, but was
not able to
provide model
number or serial
number at the
time of the
report.

The neighbor
told deputies
the suspect, a
black male,
possibly in his
late 30's to
early 40's
wearing shorts
and a button
down shirt,
walked into the
neighbor's
garage and took
the mower. He
then left in a
silver Saturn
Ion with a
Georgia tag. The
neighbor
provided the tag
number to
officers, which
came back to a
woman in
Hephzibah,
Georgia.
